Lincoln City fans are being invited to take a look back at two memorable years at the club and relive the big moments in a special exhibition at The Collection museum.

'The Journey – a Celebration of Lincoln City FC 2016-18' runs from today, Saturday, June 23 until Sunday, July 22 and charts the Imps' two historic seasons under the leadership of Danny and Nicky Cowley.

Fans are even being given the opportunity to get up close to the coveted Checkatrade Trophy.

The exhibition will also feature a number of photographs showing the club's journey over the past two years as they became the first non-league side in 103 years to reach the FA Cup quarter-finals, were crowned National League Champions and had their first ever appearance at Wembley in their 134-year history.

"It's just a reminder of how fantastic a two years we have had, coming from where we were - winning the national league, the historic FA Cup run, winning the Checkatrade trophy and going to Wembley for the first time in our history last year and actually winning.

"You have to pinch yourself to be reminded of what a brilliant two years it has been."

Chris Ashton, who has been a Lincoln City fan for many years, who has helped put the exhibition together said: "The idea was to bring the football club and the community in the county together and I think the exhibition is doing that."

Photographer Chris Vaughan

Chris Vaughan, Andrew Vaughan and Graham Burrell have their images displayed at the exhibition for all to see.

Former Lincolnshire Echo photographer Chris Vaughan, who has captured all the big moments of Lincoln City with some of his work now at the the exhibition, started taking photographs of the club when he was 14-years-old with his dad.

"It's been a brilliant two seasons for images and emotions," he said.

"We want people to relive the journey. If we try to sit down and remember what happened over the two years, we can easily forget stuff because so much has gone on.

"It's a fantastic journey so far.

"I'm really proud to see all the images printed fantastically nd laid out.

"I walked into this room and had to take a second to look back and take it all in."

Cllr Nick Worth, executive member for culture at Lincolnshire County Council, added: "This is a must-see exhibition for any Lincoln City fan, charting the club's journey between 2016 and 2018. Following the success of the club and the feel-good factor embraced by the city of Lincoln, we wanted to celebrate this in a special way.

"Not only will we have the Checkatrade Trophy with us for the first two weeks of the exhibition, but the club has kindly lent us other items from the historic Wembley final to put on display.

"There will also be a special space for fans to share their memories of the past two seasons in what has been an exciting time to be an Imp."

Ian McCallum, business operations manager for Lincoln City FC, said: “Everyone from the players to the staff behind the scenes at the football club are extremely honoured to have such an exhibition charting the team’s success over the last two seasons.

“For our achievements to be featured alongside some very special historical artefacts at The Collection is humbling for the club and acts as a reminder how incredible things have been, but our aspirations are such that we hope this is just the beginning.

"It's something that not only fans of the club and people from the community of Lincoln can enjoy, but also, we hope, the many visitors to the city who will come through the doors of The Collection over the coming month will appreciate too.”
